Discussion, pictures, and advice on bladed tools of all kinds. Work knives, tactical knives, kitchen knives, fixed-blades and folders; scissors, hatchets, machetes, or multitools—we're not picky!

Our Posting Policy:

Treat the other readers with courtesy and respect. It is okay to offend people on r/knives, but it isn't okay to put any effort into it.

If you really need to offend somebody, please send them a private message and settle it outside.

Try to be helpful, polite, and welcoming to knife newbies. Beginners are friends, not food.

Posts about self-defense are discouraged here - r/MartialArts is a more appropriate place for these discussions.

No Spam! It's OK to share the things you've made or a cool new product you've discovered, but this isn't the place to market products or web sites. Even the pros deserve to have a place where they can just hang out and be hobbyists again. It can be a fine line sometimes, but try to stay on the non-commercial side of it.

Ads, promotions, product announcements, giveaways, AMAs, kickstarters, and links to self-owned businesses, facebook pages and blogs will usually be removed. It's OK to promote a thing you love and the hobby you enjoy, but it's not OK to promote yourself or your business interest.

Custom, one-off knives are given more latitude here than factory models, but even then, please refrain from including pricing or ordering info.

Links to self-owned youtube videos are allowed at moderator discretion; on-topic, sincere user content is welcome. Posts are more likely to be removed if they are originate from accounts used to frequently post self-owned links, or which cross the line into promotion of commercial products or of the channel itself. Product reviews, new product announcements, knifemaking videos, and anything beginning with "This week's episode" are especially unlikely to survive.

I use one like it for EMS work too, its great to have a knife or two, cutting straps in cars and smashing glass are the #1 and #2 reasons to carry a knife like this. Then all of the 500 other reasons one needs a knife during the day.

Thats my dream EMS knife right there, I have like 2-3 of the cheap 10$ ones that are a similar design to it, they work nice but wear out really fast. Eventually when I am not a college student I will get one.

I have one with the ankle rig. Honestly it's not that great. First it's made to go around a boot. So to carry it on your bare leg you'll need to modify it. Second, you have to have your pants pulled up pretty high to be able to draw it. I feel like if I need it it would take way to long to get to.

I carry mine every day as well. I posted it a few months ago im sure. I have several of the variations too, but the one you have there is my choice as well. Great knives :) I have some funny greenish gray scales on mine.

Foolishness. According to CA state law an individual can concealed carry a folding knife of any blade length or open carry any fixed blade of any length. A sheathed fixed blade does not constitute concealed.

I bought 2 of these from a shop that was going out of business about for treats ago. They both came with a kydex sheath but no clip our other method of attachment other than a ankle holster strap. One now sits between my mattress and bed frame. The other I'm the safe. I'd love to carry one but could never find a place to purchase just a clip.

I carried one of these on my belt, but it felt a bit conspicuous, and people looked at me like I had the plague when I used it. I was probably planning to slit their throats with my "assault knife". To be honest I dont have any tasks that require something like that, so a small folder just suits me better.
